issues and big taxing issues. but the fact remains that the country can avoid this crisis, can avoid default, without some big deal. they could avoid default simply by saying, we don't want to default. that's all they have to do. if democrats and republicans can agree on just that and nothing else, the idea that we don't want to default, that is good enough. it does not need to be a big expansive deal. and it is looking like that is probably how this will end. no big deal will be reached. both sides will only agree that we shouldn't default. and so, therefore, we won't default. but even if it ends like that, simply this is coming down to the wire now. the president saying tomorrow's the day. and just by definition, this is a fight that has to end soon. the fuse is already lit. we're going to be talking about democratic congressman barney frank in just a moment about how he sees this all ending. but as we head toward an end to this crisis, an end that is likely to reveal the utter pointlessness of the last few week

that's the big danger i think we face with these big media conglomerates. i was very intrigued that when this scandal started breaking in london, rupert murdoch was actually in sun valley, idaho, for that annual gathering of what is virtually a cartel of very powerful media barons. and, you know, they look up to him because of the money he makes with his philosophy of anything goes. and the fact that they were all there in sun valley when this began to happen, i hope, is perhaps an unintended message about whether their allegiance is to the american people or their own bottom line. >> and it was at least should have been embarrassing, and maybe the test is whether or not they feel embarrassment when something like that happens. i work at a big corporate conglomerate controlled media outlet. and i feel like the way to handle this as an individual journalist for me is i have carved out a sphere here of editorial independence. on msnbc, my deal with the company is i will do shows on msnbc, and you will not tell me what to say. and they are very comfortable wit

i'm sure that was an edified discussion for their big senate plan, which the president likes, but it is not the president and the senate who need to get together to decide this thing. it's the president and the senate and the drunk kids at the other end of the building who are setting their barbies on fire and cooking metal in the microwave until it explodes. watch it burn! watch it burn! honestly, time for a reality check here. house republicans are not trying to drive a hard bargain and get the best deal possible. house republicans do not want to raise the debt ceiling. for anything. they would please not like to raise the debt ceiling. they would like to go into default, thank you very much. house republicans have been actively making that argument for weeks now that hitting the debt ceiling, oh, that won't hurt a bit, who cares? republican congressman mo brooks of alabama told the washington post this week that on the contrary, all credit rating should be improved by not raising the debt ceiling, which is like saying you're looking forward to how that sledge hammer is going to im
